Man gets €2k for ‘naked humiliation’ at Clare hotel

A man who claimed gender discrimination and harassment on the basis that a female hotel employee was frequently present in the hotel’s male changing room when men were naked has been awarded €2,000.

Tom Flanagan of Lahinch, Co Clare, claimed the presence of a female employee in the men’s room of the leisure centre at the Falls Hotel in Ennistymon when men were naked and semi-naked was “totally inappropriate”. He claimed his membership was revoked after he complained.

The cast and crew of Father Ted frequently stayed at Falls Hotel during filming.
